this feels like an example of performative FOSS
edit: I can’t even log into my twitter account to follow accounts. This means I’m just copy/pasting into the twitter app again anyway, defeating the purpose
edit 2: every nitter page will reopen in twitter if you click the tiny twitter icon in the upper right corner. Thanks @brainwormfarmer for the tip.
why would you log into a twitter account intentionally lol
your browser's not making the requests to twitter, so you're not surveilled directly. that's the primary reason for any of these alt front ends. they might not have full feature parity, but they don't transmit a constant stream of your activity to half a dozen data brokers.
